Four Seasons Nashville
"Why book? Four Seasons signature service meets classic downtown Nashville festivities meets Cumberland River views. The hotel stakes its claim to downtown with a prime SoBro location, complete with expansive riverfront views and easy walking distance to the Ryman, Bridgestone Arena, the Frist Art Museum, and restaurants and bars. Set the scene Like many Four Seasons properties, Four Seasons Nashville includes both a hotel and residences, so walking in provides a friendly, collegial, yet upscale, vibe, where folks know one another. The hotel’s signature restaurant, Mimo, and its bar take up most of the lobby, so you’re immediately wrapped in the sounds and smells of an evening out as you walk in. Expect a cross-section of guests in classic business suits as well as Nashville-style bedazzled evening wear from the crowd who expect the best when they travel. The backstory Under construction for five years, the Four Seasons Nashville is a new 40-story tower in the heart of downtown. Its announcement and subsequent opening signaled travelers that Music City’s luxury scene was kicking it up a notch. The rooms While the name Four Seasons is shorthand for luxury, there’s nothing showy or ostentatious about the way it is presented at Four Seasons Nashville. Rooms are bright, with light and neutral carpet and upholstery and full floor-to-ceiling windows opening out on the city skyline, the Cumberland River, or the hotel pool. Roomy round tables and chaise lounges are available in some rooms, and suites are quite spacious (more than 600 sq. ft.) with separate sleeping and living rooms. Music-themed details give a nod with Nashville’s heritage without being hokey. Food and drink Michelin-starred chef Aniello Turco came to Nashville to run the kitchen at Mimo, where he combines Southern American cooking with Southern Italian traditions. His seafood tower, with its lobster tail and crab legs, has become a city favorite, as has the caviar linguine, served with fried okra, a Southern staple. The high ceilings and large windows looking out on riverfront park give Mimo a cosmopolitan vibe. The bar is stocked with Tennessee whiskeys and spirits from around the world, as well as beers and wines. Eat on the seventh floor pool deck at Riviére Rooftop, a restaurant and bar inspired by the French Riviera. The spa Choose between letting the sun shine in thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows or blissing out in total darkness during your spa treatment. Options include massages and facials plus traditional hair and nail salon services. The Tennessee Honey and Whiskey treatment uses the local classics to exfoliate and moisturize your skin. Treatment rooms include a couple’s suite. The neighborhood/area This section of SoBro is nestled between the Cumberland River and Lower Broadway. Just out the hotel door you can walk into Riverfront park, complete with dog park if you’ve brought your canine companion to travel with you. The adjacent Ascend Amphitheater hosts concerts in summer and the nearby John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge connects to Nissan Stadium and the east side of the city. Honkytonk action is a few blocks away if you want to experience Nashville in all its boot-scooting charm, but you won’t hear any of that fun while you are inside the hotel. The service The name Four Seasons is synonymous with service and Nashville’s outpost is no exception. Staff will quickly learn your name and your interests and direct you to whatever you need to experience Music City. While attentive, service is not formal or fussy.Accessibility The hotel meets ADA standards, with lighting and room controls at lower heights, visible and vibration, and accessible rooms, elevators and restaurants. Anything left to mention? The Room Service by Gibson Guitars package includes the use of a Gibson guitar to play in room during your stay and a tour of the nearby Gibson Garage experience, including a secret vault and a peek at the collection of vintage instruments.\" - Margaret Littman
